TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to temperature sensors, and moreparticularly, to heat radiation-resistant NTC temperature sensors andapplications thereof.

BACKGROUND

NTC temperature sensors are sensors which perform temperaturemeasurements using a principle that a resistance of a conductor or asemiconductor varies as its temperature varies. In order to improve theaccuracy of the measurement of a temperature of a planar object to bemeasured having a heat source by an NTC temperature sensor, a housing ofthe NTC temperature sensor is designed to be a plane. Whether athermistor is in close contact with the housing of the NTC temperaturesensor is an important factor which influences a reaction speed of theNTC temperature sensor. In an existing NTC temperature sensor, thethermistor is filled and sealed in an ordinary metal housing by usingepoxy resin. Such a filling and sealing method has some shortcomings,for example, it cannot guarantee that the thermistor is in close contactwith the inner side of the housing, resulting in a poor thermalconductivity effect, and thus failing to guarantee that the NTCtemperature sensor timely reflects a change in the ambient temperature.Further, when the existing NTC temperature sensor measures a temperatureof an object, heat radiated by heat sources around the object to bemeasured will affect the measurement result of the NTC temperaturesensor, thereby resulting in inaccurate measurement.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

It should be illustrated that, embodiments in the present applicationand features in the embodiments can be combined with each other withoutconflict. The present disclosure will be further described below withreference to accompanying drawings.

In a first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a heat radiation-resistantNTC temperature sensor comprises a heat radiation-resistant measurementrod 1 which is in contact with a plane of an object to be measured. Acavity 11 for accommodating a thermistor 2 is provided in an axialdirection of the heat radiation-resistant measurement rod 1, and thethermistor 2 is in close contact with an upper wall of the cavity 11 ofthe heat radiation-resistant measurement rod 1. The thermistor 2 isconnected to an external control board through a wire 8.

The heat radiation-resistant measurement rod 1 comprises a metal part 18and an injection-molded part 17. The metal part 18 is embedded in thecenter of the injection-molded part 17, and has an upper surface locatedin the same plane as the upper surface of the injection-molded part 17.The metal part 18 is made of stainless steel, iron, copper, aluminum, oralloy material, and the injection-molded part 17 is made of plastic,ceramic, bakelite, insulation plate, or glass material.

The heat radiation-resistant measurement rod 1 further comprises a stopring 7 for fixing the position of the sensor. The stop ring 7 is made ofplastic, ceramic, bakelite, insulation plate, or glass. The temperaturemeasuring plane of the heat radiation-resistant measurement rod 1 has adiameter less than 40 mm and greater than 3 mm.

As the metal part 18 of the measurement rod 1 which is used fortemperature measurement is wrapped by the injection-molded part 17, whenan object to be measured is pressed against the heat radiation-resistantmeasurement rod 1 during the temperature measurement, heat radiated fromheat sources around the object to be measured is mostly isolated by theinjection-molded part surrounding the metal part 18, which effectivelyprevents the heat radiated from the heat sources around the object to bemeasured from affecting temperature measurement by the thermistor.

In a second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, amulti-heat-radiation-resistant NTC temperature sensor (which may be usedfor a pan bottom) comprises a heat radiation-resistant measurement rod 1which is in contact with a plane of an object to be measured. A cavity11 for accommodating a thermistor 2 is provided in the axial directionof the heat radiation-resistant measurement rod 1, and the thermistor 2is in close contact with the upper wall of the cavity 11 of the heatradiation-resistant measurement rod 1. The thermistor 2 is connected toan external control board through a wire 8. An injection-molded part 17has a screw tooth 19 provided on a tail thereof.

The heat radiation-resistant measurement rod 1 comprises a metal part 18and the injection-molded part 17. The metal part 18 is embedded in thecenter of the injection-molded part. The metal part 18 and theinjection-molded part 17 are formed into a metal plane with the metalpart 18 being located above the injection-molded part 17. The metal part18 is made of stainless steel, iron, copper, aluminum, or alloymaterial. The injection-molded part 17 is made of plastic, ceramic,bakelite, insulation plate, or glass material. The temperature measuringplane of the heat radiation-resistant measurement rod 1 has a diameterless than 40 mm and greater than 3 mm. An upper end layer of the metalpart has a thickness greater than 0 mm and less than 4 mm.

During installation, the multi-heat-radiation-resistant NTC temperaturesensor (which may be used for a pan bottom) is passed through a hole atthe bottom of the object to be measured, and an upper end of the metalpart 18 is stuck in the hole at the bottom of the object to be measuredand is fastened with a screw nut. As the injection-molded part 17 wrapsaround other portions of the metal part 18, during the temperaturemeasurement, a temperature measuring plane of the heatradiation-resistant NTC temperature sensor directly senses thetemperature of the object to be measured, while the heatradiation-resistant ring isolates the heat sources around the object tobe measured from affecting the radiation for temperature measurement.

In a third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, a heat radiation-resistantNTC temperature sensor comprises a heat radiation-resistant measurementrod 1, a metal upper cover 21, a thermal insulation rubber pad 22, and athermistor 2 connected to an external control board. The heatradiation-resistant measurement rod 1 comprises a left portion 1A and aright portion 1B which are snap-fitted together. The heatradiation-resistant measurement rod 1 is provided with a cavity, whichhas the thermal insulation rubber pad 22 adhered therein. The thermalinsulation rubber pad 22 is formed in a shape of the thermistor 2through molding. The metal upper cover 21 has an electrical insulationfilm 24 attached on an inner side thereof. Then, the thermistor 2 andthe heat radiation-resistant measurement rod 1 are clamped together.

In this embodiment, the thermistor 2 is fixed in the thermal insulationrubber pad 22, and is then fixedly connected to the heat-radiationresistant measurement rod 1 with the metal upper cover 21 by means of asnap fit 25.

The metal upper cover 21 has two electrical insulation film layers 24provided therein for the purpose of safety. When the thermistor 2 isconnected to a high voltage, each electrical insulation film layer 24can be subjected to a high voltage of 1750V so as to meet therequirements for reinforced insulation. In this way, the metal uppercover 21 can be prevented from being electrically connected to the highvoltage at any time. Further, the length of the metal upper cover 21 canbe controlled to reduce the reaction speed of the outside to thethermistor 2.

When the metal upper cover 21 holds the heat radiation-resistantmeasurement rod 1, the thermal insulation rubber pad 22, and thethermistor 2 together, the thermal insulation rubber pad 22 plays acushioning effect on the thermistor 2 to guarantee that the thermistor 2will not crushed.

In a fourth embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a heat radiation-resistantNTC temperature sensor comprises a heat radiation-resistant measurementrod 1, a metal upper cover 21, a thermal insulation rubber pad 22, and athermistor 2 connected to an external control board. The heatradiation-resistant measurement rod 1 comprises a left portion 1A and aright portion 1B which are snap-fitted together. The heatradiation-resistant measurement rod 1 is provided with a cavity, whichhas a thermal insulation rubber pad 22 adhered therein. The thermalinsulation rubber pad 22 is provided with a groove for accommodating thethermistor 2. The metal upper cover 21 has an electrical insulation body23 attached on an inner side thereof. Then, the metal upper cover 21 andthe heat radiation-resistant measurement rod 1 which has a built-inthermistor 2 are clamped together.

In this embodiment, the thermistor 2 is fixed in the thermal insulationrubber pad 22, and is then fixedly connected to the heatradiation-resistant measurement rod 1 with the metal upper cover 21 bymeans of a snap fit 25.

The metal upper cover 21 has a single, electrical insulation body layerof 2 mm provided therein for the purpose of safety. When the thermistor2 is connected to a high voltage, the single, electrical insulation bodylayer of 2 mm can be subjected to a high voltage of 3500V. In this way,the metal upper cover 21 can be prevented from being electricallyconnected to the high voltage at any time. Further, the length of themetal upper cover 21 can be controlled to reduce a reaction speed of theoutside to the thermistor 2.

When the metal upper cover 21 holds the heat radiation-resistantmeasurement rod 1, the insulating rubber pad 22, and the thermistor 2together, the thermal insulation rubber pad 22 plays a cushioning effecton the thermistor 2 to guarantee that the thermistor 2 is not crushed.

In a fifth embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, amulti-heat-radiation-resistant NTC temperature sensor (which may be usedfor a pan bottom) comprises a measurement rod 1 which is in contact witha plane of an object to be measured, an upper case 3, a lower case 4,and a compression spring 6. The measurement rod 1 further comprises astop ring 7 provided in a circumferential direction. A cavity 11 foraccommodating a thermistor 2 is provided in the axial direction of themeasurement rod 1, and the thermistor 2 is in close contact with theupper wall of the temperature measuring plane of the measurement rod 1.The thermistor 2 is connected to an external measurement apparatusthrough a wire 8. The measurement rod 1 is stuck in an accommodatingcavity 12 formed by the upper case 3 and the lower case 4, and may movefreely in the accommodating cavity 12. The measurement rod 1 is sleevedby a spring 6 which is stuck between the stop ring 7 and the lower case4.

During the temperature measurement, the plane of the measurement rod 1which is in contact with the object to be measured forms a temperaturemeasuring plane. When the object to be measured is pressed against theplane of the measurement rod 1, under the action of the gravity of theobject to be measured and the spring 6, the measurement rod 1 iscompressed to be flush with a stopper 5, and is in close contact withthe object to be measured. As the stopper 5 of the upper case ofinsulation material is in the same plane as the metal measurement rod 1,the stopper 5 of the upper case of insulation material prevents theinfluence of the surrounding heat radiation on the metal measurementrod. The spring ensures that the measurement rod and the plane of theobject to be measured are in good contact, so that the temperature ofthe object to be measured will be accurately measured.

In this example, the multi-heat-radiation-resistant NTC temperaturesensor (which may be used for a pan bottom) further comprises the uppercase 3 provided on a periphery of the measurement rod 1. The upper case3 is made of insulation material. There is a gap between the measurementrod 1 and the upper case 3, wherein the gap is greater than 0.1 mm andless than the diameter of the stop ring 7 which is 15 mm. The upper case3 has a thickness less than 10 mm and greater than 1 mm. The stop ring 7is a metal ring part and is tightly fitted to the measurement rod 1.

In this example, the measurement rod 1 is a metal cutting part or acasting part, and is made of copper, aluminum, iron, or alloy material.

In this example, the upper case 3 is provided with snap fits 9, thelower case 4 is provided with positioning holes 10, and the upper case 3and the lower case 4 are detachably connected by means of the snap fits9 and the positioning holes 10. The temperature measuring plane of themeasurement rod 1 has a diameter less than 40 mm and greater than 3 mm.

In a sixth embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, this embodiment differs fromthe fifth embodiment in that this embodiment further comprises a reedswitch 14 connected in series with a pin of the thermistor 2, the lowercase 4 has a snap groove 15 provided therein, and a magnet block 16 isfixed to the snap groove 15; the measurement rod 1 is injection-moldedusing metal and plastic by means of a die, and the stop ring 7 isinjection-molded using plastic; and the thermistor 2 is in close contactwith the upper wall of the cavity 11 of the measurement rod 1.

The temperature measurement principle of themulti-heat-radiation-resistant NTC temperature sensor (which may be usedfor a pan bottom) is as follows. The thermistor 2 is filled and sealedin the cavity 11 through epoxy resin, and has a pin connected in serieswith the reed switch 14. Under the action of the gravity of the objectto be measured, the measurement rod 1 moves downward, the distancebetween the reed switch 14 and the magnet block 16 is shortened duringthe downward movement of the measurement rod 1 and the reed switch 14becomes a closed circuit from an open circuit. In this way, themeasurement of the temperature of the object to be measured istransferred to the external control board through the wire 8. During thetemperature measurement, the stopper 5 of the upper case and themeasurement rod 1 are in the same plane, and the stopper 5 of the uppercase of insulation material prevents the influence of the surroundingheat radiation on the measurement rod 1. The spring 6 ensures that themeasurement rod and the plane of the object to be measured are in goodcontact, so that the temperature of the object to be measured will beaccurately measured.

In this example, the stop ring 7 is die-casted with ceramic or isinjection-molded with plastic, and the measurement rod 1 isinjection-molded with metal and plastic or glass by means of a die.Similarly, the measurement rod 1 may also be formed by tightly fitting ametal cutting part with plastic, bakelite, or an insulation plate.

In this example, there is a gap between the measurement rod 1 and theupper case 3. The gap is greater than 0.1 mm and less than the diameterof the stop ring 7 which is 15 mm. The upper case 3 is made ofinsulation material, and has a thickness less than 10 mm and greaterthan 1 mm. The stop ring 7 is a metal ring part and is tightly fitted tothe measurement rod 1.

In this example, the upper case 3 is provided with snap fits 9, thelower case 4 is provided with positioning holes 10, and the upper case 3and the lower case 4 are detachably connected by means of the snap fits9 and the positioning holes 10. The temperature measuring plane of themeasurement rod 1 has a diameter less than 40 mm and greater than 3 mm.The measurement rod 1 has a ground wire 13 provided on the lower endthereof.

In a seventh embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, this embodiment differsfrom the fifth embodiment in that the upper case 3 and the lower case 4are made of metal material.

In this example, as the upper case 3 is made of metal material, the heatradiation-resistant measurement rod 1 comprises a metal part 18 and aninjection part 17. The metal part 18 is wrapped by the injection part17. When the object to be measured is pressed against the heatradiation-resistant measurement rod 1, the spring 6 ensures that themeasurement rod 1 and the plane of the object to be measured are in goodcontact, so that the temperature of the object to be measured will beaccurately measured.

The temperature measurement principle of themulti-heat-radiation-resistant NTC temperature sensor (which may be usedfor a pan bottom) is as follows. As shown in FIG. 7A, when the heatradiation-resistant NTC temperature sensor for a pan bottom is fixedonto a heating plate, the lower case 4 is connected to the housing ofthe object to be measured, i.e., being connected to the ground wire. Ametal clamp 13 of the heat radiation-resistant measurement rod 1 whichhas a ground plug is fixed to the tail of the heat radiation-resistantmeasurement rod 1. When no pan is pressed against the heatradiation-resistant measurement rod 1, the metal clamp 13 and the lowercase 4 remain in contact and are conductive. As the ground plug of themetal clamp 13 is connected to the ground wire, the input terminal ofthe thermistor 2 is connected to the metal clamp 13, the metal clamp 13is connected to the lower case 4 and the lower case 4 is connected tothe ground wire. In this way, the thermistor 2 is short-circuited and isconnected to the ground. When a pan is pressed against the heatradiation-resistant measurement rod 1, the spring 6 is pressed down sothat the heat radiation-resistant measurement rod 1 is pressed down, themetal clamp 13 is separated from the lower case 4, the short circuit isautomatically released, and the resistance value of the thermistor 2 canbe measured normally.

In this example, the upper case 3 is provided with snap fits 9, thelower case 4 is provided with positioning holes 10, and the upper case 3and the lower case 4 are detachably connected through the snap fits 9and the positioning holes 10. The temperature measuring plane of theheat radiation-resistant measurement rod 1 has a diameter less than 40mm and greater than 3 mm. The metal upper case 3 has a thickness lessthan 3 mm and greater than 0.1 mm. There is a gap between the heatradiation-resistant measurement rod 1 and the metal upper case 3. Thegap is greater than 0.1 mm and less than the diameter of the stop ring 7which is 15 mm.

In this example, the heat radiation-resistant measurement rod 1comprises a metal part 18 and an injection-molded part 17. The heatradiation-resistant measurement rod 1 is formed by tightly fitting themetal part 18 and the injection-molded part 17 by means of a die. Thestop ring 7 is die-casted with ceramic. Similarly, the heatradiation-resistant measurement rod 1 may also be formed by tightlyfitting a metal cutting part with bakelite or an insulation plate, or isinjection-molded with metal and plastic, ceramic, or glass by means of adie.

In an eighth embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, this embodiment differsfrom the seventh embodiment in that in this embodiment, the upper case 3is made of insulation material and the lower case is made of metalmaterial.

The upper case 3 is made of insulation material, and the metal part 18of the measurement rod 1 which is used for temperature measurement iswrapped by the injection part 17. When the object to be measured ispressed against the heat radiation-resistant measurement rod 1, as thestopper 5 and the temperature measuring plane of the heatradiation-resistant measurement rod 1 are located in the same plane, theupper case 3 and the stopper 5 prevent the influence of the surroundingheat radiation on the heat radiation-resistant measurement rod 1.Further, the heat radiation-resistant measurement rod 1 per se providesa heat radiation-resistant function. In this way, the surrounding heatradiation will be isolated twice. The spring 6 ensures that the heatradiation-resistant measurement rod 1 and the plane of the object to bemeasured are in good contact, so that the temperature of the object tobe measured is extremely accurately measured.

The temperature measurement principle of themulti-heat-radiation-resistant NTC temperature sensor (which may be usedfor a pan bottom) is as follows. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 8A, when theheat radiation-resistant NTC temperature sensor for a pan bottom isfixed onto a heating plate, the lower case 4 is connected to the housingof the object to be measured, i.e., being connected to the ground wire.A metal clamp 13 of the heat radiation-resistant measurement rod 1 whichhas a ground plug is fixed to the tail of the heat radiation-resistantmeasurement rod 1. When no pan is pressed against the heatradiation-resistant measurement rod 1, the metal clamp 13 and the lowercase 4 remain in contact and are conductive. In this way, an inputterminal of the thermistor 2 is connected to the metal clamp 13, themetal clamp 13 is connected to the lower case 4 and the lower case 4 isconnected to the ground wire, so that the thermistor 2 isshort-circuited and is connected to the ground. When there is a panpressed against the heat radiation-resistant measurement rod 1, thespring 6 is pressed down so that the heat radiation-resistantmeasurement rod 1 is pressed down, the metal clamp 13 is separated fromthe lower case 4, the short circuit is automatically released, and theresistance value of the thermistor 2 can be measured normally.

In this example, the heat radiation-resistant measurement rod 1 isdie-casted with metal and ceramic, and the stop ring 7 is die-castedwith ceramic or injection-molded with plastic. Similarly, the heatradiation-resistant measurement rod 1 may be formed by tightly fitting ametal cutting part with bakelite or an insulating plate, or isinjection-molded with metal and plastic or glass by means of a die.

In this example, the upper case 3 is provided with snap fits 9, thelower case 4 is provided with positioning holes 10, and the upper case 3and the lower case 4 are detachably connected by means of the snap fits9 and the positioning holes 10. The temperature measuring plane of theheat radiation-resistant measurement rod 1 has a diameter less than 40mm and greater than 3 mm. The metal upper case 3 is made of insulationmaterial, and has a thickness less than 10 mm and greater than 1 mm.There is a gap between the heat radiation-resistant measurement rod 1and the metal upper case 3. The gap is greater than 0.1 mm and less thana diameter of the stop ring 7 which is 15 mm.

FIG. 9 is an exploded view of a multi-heat-radiation-resistant NTCtemperature sensor (which may be used for a pan bottom), which comprisesa heat radiation-resistant measurement rod 1, a thermistor 2, an uppercase 3, a lower case 4, a stopper 5, a spring 6, a wire 8, snap fits 9,and positioning holes 10.
